Appendix A: BIOS Error Codes Appendix A BIOS Error Codes A-1 BIOS Error Beep (POST) Codes During the POST (Power-On Self-Test) routines, which are performed each time the system is powered on, errors may occur. Non-fatal errors are those which, in most cases, allow the system to continue the boot-up process.
